ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY:

Try to hit Azumarill with Dragon claw... Twice

Spam Overheat

Try to land an OHKO move ( gullotine, fissure, sheer cold etc... ) and wonder why it never hits.

Underestimate entry hazards

Dont have counters for commonplace pokemon like Charizard and Greninja

Use Earthquake on a flying type... BUT YEH ITS SPRITE DOESNT SHOW IT FLYING!!!

Look only at base power of moves and negate its side effects

Spam Protect and wonder why it fails lmao

Underestimate batonpassers

Judge a pokemon based on its design

Use Gems

And so on...
